While most look to coastal valleys for Pinot Noir, the true boundary-pushers look to the stone and ice of the Pacific Northwest. Golden West Pinot Noir is an intentional, single-vineyard expression grown on the steep, limestone benches of Washington State. It challenges the status quo with striking clarity and an unmistakable sense of place, stripped entirely of pretense.
On the nose, it unveils a complex layer of sweet and sour fruit, showcasing notes of black raspberry, wild strawberry, and a touch of orange peel alongside deeper hints of forest floor, allspice, and velvet theater drapes.
The palate is full, elegant, and precise as a rare Swiss timepiece. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced, it layers wild mushroom, limestone, and earth over fine, firm tannins, finishing with an appealing undertone of delicious chocolate and coffee
